"Dad, when I went to town to visit Grandma Xiaohua, I met my uncle's old boss in the hospital. He thought I was a good candidate for the military, so I wanted to join the army."

Xie Gui frowned, "Really? Does your uncle know about this?"

Although he didn't suspect Xie Jianguo, that man was Xie Yu's old leader, so Xie Yu should know more about it, right?

Xie Jianguo looked at Xie Gui with dissatisfaction, "Dad, do you know why my uncle's legs are like this now? He couldn't go back to the army anyway. Do you still want to hurt him with this?"

He didn't want Xie Yu to know that he was going to join the army. If he knew, he might stop him.

He absolutely cannot give up such a great opportunity!

Since his old leader is his benefactor, then everything is his!

When Xie Gui heard Xie Jianguo mention this, the frown between his eyebrows became even darker.

Of course he knew why Xie Yu returned to the village.

At that time, he always stayed in his room alone and never went out, and he was always worried that he would be depressed.

Fortunately, with the arrival of Chang Zhiqing, his younger brother seemed to be in much better mood.

When I went to propose marriage before, I was even willing to go out.

As the eldest brother, he was very pleased.

However, he was really unsure about joining the army this time, and he didn't know whether he should mention it to Xie Yu.

When Zhao Xiuli saw that Xie Gui didn't say anything, she knew that he at least believed half of it.

She hurriedly encouraged him, "Dad, it's a good thing that Jianguo can join the army. Didn't you always want him to join the army? Now that he has the opportunity to join the army, you are not happy about it?"

Xie Gui turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiuli, and asked instead of answering, "Didn't you always oppose Jianguo's enlistment before, and said that if he joined the army, you would die. Why did you agree so readily now?"

He doesn't believe there is no trick involved.

Especially when Xie Jianguo and Zhao Xiulan agreed with each other, he felt it was a problem.

Zhao Xiulan rolled her eyes at Xie Gui and said, "I don't want Jianguo to join the army because of Xie Yu's legs. If our son is like that, how can I live?"

When she said this, her voice was obviously a few notches lower than before.

Then, while Xie Gui was still waiting to speak, he said again: "Our son has met a noble person when he joined the army this time. Even if it is for Xie Yu, they will not arrange for our son to go to such a dangerous place."

"You are kidding! Can our family arrange for the troops?" Xie Gui's face suddenly turned dark.

If he could accept Xie Jianguo joining the army just now, after Zhao Xiulan said this, he didn't want Xie Jianguo to go anymore.

This is simply sucking blood from Xie Yu and stepping on him to enter the army!

They actually said that it had nothing to do with Xie Yu?

Still want to hide it from Xie Yu?

This is simply outrageous!

Xie Jianguo's face also darkened and he glared at Zhao Xiulan with dissatisfaction.

His mother is really good at causing trouble instead of helping him.

His father's side was originally the easiest hurdle to overcome, but now that she got involved it has become a difficult problem.

Xie Jianguo had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn things around.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't use my uncle's relationship recklessly."

He sighed, and then said, "Actually, I didn't want to say it, but my mother thought it was because of my uncle, so I didn't open my mouth to explain."

Xie Jianguo pretended to be aggrieved, which made Xie Gui swallow back half of the curse he was about to say.

"Then tell me, what's going on?"

Xie Gui stared at Xie Jianguo, as if he was afraid that he would lie to him again.

Xie Jianguo felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, but he still pretended not to care and said, "Dad, actually my uncle's leader was concerned about my uncle's leg injury, so he didn't take me in. Instead, another leader in Beijing City took a fancy to me..."

Zhao Xiulan's eyes widened instantly, thinking that the person from Beijing City was most likely the person that Xie Jianguo mentioned before who was related to Chang Meili.

She was so excited. "A high-ranking official in Jing City? Oh my God, our Jianguo has made it this time!"

Xie Gui didn't understand anything from Xie Jianguo, but Zhao Xiulan's look as if she had just learned something really blinded Xie Gui.

He thought about it, but couldn't help asking: "How do you know that person is the leader of Jing City?"

Zhao Xiulan became dissatisfied immediately after hearing Xie Gui's repeated doubts about Xie Jianguo.

"I say Xie Gui, is Xie Yu the only one in the world who can be the leader of Jing City? Can't we Jianguo do the same?!"

Her high voice was particularly noticeable in the quiet night, and even had a slight echo in the empty yard.

Xie Gui thought that the town leader must be here to do something important.

Although these country folk don't understand, if they leak the secret, it will be their family that will be in trouble.

Xie Gui quickly reached out to cover Zhao Xiulan's mouth, "Keep your voice down! You know he's a leader from Beijing City, but you're still making such a big noise. Do you want to go to the Public Security Bureau?!"

He tried his best to lower his voice, but he did not forget to scold Zhao Xiulan.

Xie Jianguo hasn't even joined the army yet, and she already has so many things to do.

He is a little worried now. If Xie Jianguo really makes some achievements in the army, given Zhao Xiulan's personality, she might ruin it.

Xie Jianguo was not stupid. Seeing Xie Gui being so cautious, he of course understood what he meant.

So he helped Xie Gui to lecture Zhao Xiulan, "Mom, Dad is right. If others knew that you were so loud, I might not be able to be a soldier anymore."

He got into the army through connections. People who don't know about this would definitely think that he joined the army because of Xie Yu.

But if someone with ulterior motives heard what his mother said and reported him, his future would be difficult.

Zhao Xiulan originally planned to have a big quarrel with Xie Gui. After all, his son was going to join the army and had a noble person to support him.

What is she afraid of?

Maybe she will be taken to Beijing by her son to enjoy a good life in the future!

Zhao Xiulan was really confident, but after hearing what Xie Jianguo said, she instantly became obedient.

But looking at Xie Gui's wrinkled face, she couldn't help but mutter, "I know, I know. As long as you can serve as a soldier well, even if I die, I will know my place. I will be worthy of the ancestors of your Xie family."

Xie Gui knew that this matter was a done deal, he sighed deeply and said no more.

Xie Jianguo and Zhao Xiulan both breathed a sigh of relief and left the yard.

For a moment, the only two people left in the whole courtyard were Xie Gui and Xie Liye, staring at each other.

Xie Gui tapped the pipe in his hand against his feet, looked around, and then leaned close to Xie Liye and said in a low voice: "Go to your uncle secretly someday and ask him about your elder brother's military service. See if your uncle knows about it..."
